Creamy Spinach Soufflé Fast2eat

This is one of the best spinach dishes I’ve tasted. This super easy creamy spinach soufflé is a treasured recipe from my childhood. Actually, it was my childhood favorite. My mom’s version was made with eggs (egg yolks and beaten egg whites to give volume), but I’ve updated the recipe to make it faster and easier.

Surprisingly, my vegetable-avoiding son loves this spinach soufflé. This one and this Carrot soufflé are the only veggies that he eats. I have a feeling this spinach soufflé will become one of your family favorites, too.

Creamy Spinach Souffle Fast2eat

This is a tasty and quick side dish--ready in just minutes. It's great with fish (my favourite option), chicken, beef, pork, and lamb.

If you are in a hurry, just add the Parmesan cheese and it’s ready to serve. You don’t have to bake it, but it is delicious with the golden brown Parmesan cheese on the top.

Top with some grated Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, until light golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Recipe Notes

This is a 'lite' souffle, the faster way -- for a more traditional soufflé, my mom’s way, add the following steps:

For the spinach, before everything: Fill a bowl with ice and water; set aside. Place a steamer basket in a large saucepan; fill with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil, and add the spinach. Cover, and steam until wilted, about 3 minutes. Drain, and plunge into ice bath to stop cooking. Let cool, and squeeze out excess water. Place the spinach in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until finely chopped; set aside. You should have about 1 cup.

In a large bowl, whisk 2 egg yolks until blended. Whisk in a little white sauce to temper the eggs, then add the remaining sauce, whisking until combined.

Once the creamed spinach mixture has cooled, fold the mixture into the prepared egg whites: Place the 2 egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on low until soft peaks begin to form. Increase speed to high; beat until stiff peaks form and egg whites are smooth. Using a rubber spatula, transfer 1/2 of egg whites to spinach mixture; gently fold in until blended. Add spinach mixture to remaining egg whites; gently fold in until just combined. Pour into baking dish.
